Sleek design and finally this is light and easier to one hand carried. The screen is very shine, it is much glossy than LG OLED Flex, lucky it still well handling the reflections, so far, no issue for me. I do not own the OLED G8, but I had seen the demo set, the text fringing is much obvious compare with the OLED G9, thanks to Samsung QD-OLED 2nd gen changing the diamond pixel pattern. Very little text fringing issue, especially after self-tune the Windows Clear Type. I don't see the black purplish like the OLED G8, I think Samsung had improved the coating. Why DisplayPort 2.Gorgeous display, OLED still the best image quality, especially on HDR.ĭeep Black. Samsung’s first flat mini-LED gaming monitor doesn’t come cheapĪsus’ 4K, 32-inch mini-LED gaming monitor might hit the perfect sweet spot Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9 launches in October - if you can stomach its insane price However, Samsung’s new Odyssey OLED G9 looks like the winner in 2023, not because it’s inherently better than the Neo G9, but because the best graphics cards can actually drive the display at its full potential. I’m looking forward to the new Odyssey Neo G9, and I’ll be happy to drive the display with an RX 7900 XTX once the monitor has been released. The problem here is Nvidia’s poor foresight concerning its RTX 40-series GPUs. If anything, I commend Samsung for driving this new connection standard forward. It’s just such a shame that the RTX 4090 can’t fully drive it.Īlthough I’ve focused on the Odyssey Neo G9 here, it’s important to point out that the problem with DisplayPort 2.1 and its limited support on GPUs isn’t on Samsung’s shoulders. Make no mistake, the Odyssey Neo G9 is still an end-game gaming monitor. The game looked like it was running above 60 fps at native resolution, and it looked impossibly sharp for such a large screen. VESA, who created the DisplayHDR standard, allowed me to play a bit of the upcoming Lies of P game with an RX 7900 XTX and the Odyssey Neo G9 (2023), and it looked fantastic. I don’t want to discredit how great the monitor looks, though. It’s a mismatch, where the highest-end monitor you can buy in 2023 doesn’t have a GPU even capable of fully showing it off. Locked to DisplayPort 1.4a, the RTX 4090 can’t drive the Odyssey Neo G9 at its full resolution and refresh rate, despite the fact that it’s the only GPU theoretically powerful enough to. We’ll never get to see it in its full glory, though. Frankly, the RTX 4090 is the only GPU that makes sense with Samsung’s latest display. With DLSS 3’s unique frame generation capabilities, it can easily push into the 200 fps territory, even with a resolution as high as the new Odyssey Neo G9 demands. They’re not powerful enough to drive 4K, let alone dual 4K.Īnd for the full refresh rate, the RTX 4090 supports Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 (DLSS). For as impressive as the Arc A770 and A750 are, they’re targeting 1080p gaming. Intel isn’t even a factor in this conversation, either. The RTX 4090, by comparison, easily cracks 100 fps in most games at 4K and often goes higher. Even at standard 4K, the RX 7900 XTX will hover around 60 frames per second (fps) to 100 fps in the most demanding games, far below the refresh rate that Samsung’s monitor is capable of. Limited potential Jacob Roach / Digital Trendsįor as powerful as AMD’s RX 7900 XTX is, it’s nowhere near the RTX 4090. Worse, Nvidia’s GPUs are the only ones powerful enough to drive the resolution and refresh rate of the Odyssey Neo G9 they’re just hampered by the connection standard. They’ll work with the Odyssey Neo G9 due to DisplayPort’s backward compatibility, but not at the full resolution or refresh rate. Nvidia’s latest GPUs top out at DisplayPort 1.4a. The problem is that only AMD and Intel actually support DisplayPort 2.1 right now. The previous standard, DisplayPort 1.4a, only supports up to 25.92Gbps, so you need DisplayPort 2.1 to drive the Odyssey Neo G9 (2023) at its full resolution and refresh rate. It runs at a 240Hz refresh rate, and when paired with the resolution, it needs a bandwidth of 36.19Gbps with HDR off and 45Gbps with HDR on. It has half the vertical resolution.Īdvertising shenanigans aside, the new Odyssey Neo G9 needs DisplayPort 2.1. Samsung is billing this as an 8K monitor, but it’s not true 8K. If you can’t recognize the math, that’s two 3840 x 2160 ( 4K) screens put side-by-side. The Odyssey Neo G9 comes with a dual 4K resolution, with a pixel count of 7680 x 2160. Samsung’s CES 2023 gaming monitors range from curved QD-OLEDs to 8K behemothsįirst, the why. Samsung wants you to reserve the Odyssey OLED G9 - without knowing the priceĬES 2023 is a turning point for the dilemma between TVs and gaming monitors
